For this tutorial you
will need: Graphics Program: Any graphics program that allows 3rd party filters, such as the ones used here. You can even do it in free programs that use filters, such as IrfanView. There are instructions on their home site about adding filters to the program. Filters: Two Moon Filters>RotoBlades Simple filters>Quick Tile Some shortcuts I use are: PSP-Paint Shop Pro; PS-Photoshop; PSE-Photoshop Elements; PI-PhotoImpact |

1. Open canvas 200 X
200, pick two colors from your graphic or of your own choosing
to make gradient, fill tile with the gradient, diagonal, from
upper left to lower right In PSP 45° or 135° angle, 0 repeats; In PI pick either diagonal button PS-PSE: apply diagonal gradient 2. Go to Effects (Filters)>Two Moon>RotoBlades, set at default of 53-128-128-128. 3. Go to Effects>Simple>Quick Tile. You can stop here or you can go to step 4 and lighten it. 4. You can reduce opacity for a lighter effect In PI go to Edit>Fill, white at 50-75% transparency In PSP, right click in layer palette>new raster layer. Fill with fill tool, white, reduce opacity in layer to 40. In PS-PSE: Layer>New>Layer, then using Paint Bucket tool, fill with white, go to layer palette and reduce opacity to 40% |
| You're done!
Don't forget to optimize PSP: (File>Export>Jpeg Optimizer). I usually optimize at about 10. PI: I usually optimize at about 90 PS and PSE: I usually save at about 8. |
